Genesis 22:6-10 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

6. Abraham took the wood for the sacrifice and gave it to his son to carry. Abraham took the knife and the fire. So Abraham and his son went on together.

7. Isaac said to his father Abraham, “Father!”Abraham answered, “Yes, my son.”Isaac said, “We have the fire and the wood. But where is the lamb we will burn as a sacrifice?”

8. Abraham answered, “God will give us the lamb for the sacrifice, my son.”So Abraham and his son went on together.

9. They came to the place God had told him about. There, Abraham built an altar. He laid the wood on it. Then he tied up his son Isaac. And he laid Isaac on the wood on the altar.

10. Then Abraham took his knife and was about to kill his son.
